NOPD arrive on horseback to help in missing teacher search

Police say Terrilynn Monette was last seen on Saturday morning in Lakeview.

NEW ORLEANS -

The New Orleans Police Department tells WDSU that its search for a missing elementary school second-grade teacher from Jefferson Parish continues at noon Friday.

The latest search effort will include police on horseback starting at Marconi Drive. Officers will canvass the area looking for 26-year-old Terrilynn Monette.

Dozens of people have joined the growing search in recent days, including members of the missing woman's family. Family, friends and volunteers split up into small groups to comb the area around Parlay's and the search extended into city park. Even strangers spent time searching for Monette. Volunteer Terrie Torez says, "I saw this thing last night asking for help...they said they needed volunteers, so I called my husband and said, this is what we are going to do tomorrow."

Monette vanished outside of a Lakeview bar over the weekend. Her sister, Kandice Enclade is searching for her loved one and told WDSU, "We just want her back, we just really want Terrilynn home safe and sound. That's all we want."

Anyone with any information is urged to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
